Sparkling Candy Corn Cookies

We enjoyed our county fair this past week, one of the events that we look forward to every fall. This upcoming week is an exciting one for my kids. They have the fall festival at their school on Thursday and the Halloween class parties on Friday. The days of sending home-baked goodies to school seem to be over. But, that doesn't stop me from baking fall goodies for my kids. One of the cookies that are a tradition in our home are these Candy Corn Cookies. I've been making them every year for the past several years. I use the recipe from Land O Lakes.

Divide dough into thirds. Press one-third of white dough evenly onto bottom of prepared pan. Place another one-third of dough back into same bowl. Add small amount of orange food color; mix until color is well blended. Press orange dough evenly over white dough in pan. Place remaining one-third of dough into another medium bowl. Add small amount of yellow food color; mix until color is well blended. Press yellow dough evenly over orange dough in pan. Cover with plastic food wrap; refrigerate until firm (at least 2 hours or overnight).

This one recipe makes a ton of cookies, approximately six dozen. Plenty for the kids to share with their friends.

Let the week of fall festivities begin!

Enjoy!!
